Painting the office RED!!

No no, I haven't become footloose and fancy free ... no time to pursue such activities, this is a literal translation. I am going to paint the office red.
Yesterday while doing my usual hello's to everybody, I bumped into the architect (our office is still being constructed) and since I've always been fascinated with colours and painting (I once painted a friends wall with rollers... it was too much fun and I wanted to recreate it again), I asked Rajesh (the architect) to allow me to paint one of the walls... he was not convinced. I cajoled him saying that he will not have to pay daily workers wages to me... that I will do it for free... still I was not successful... not because Rajesh didn’t want me to paint any wall... but there are no walls in our office!
Yes, it is hard to believe... but there are no walls in our office (walls as in concrete wall... there are a lot of glass walls and wooden walls which cannot be painted).
However, being ever resourceful (jugadu) Indians, Chandramohan (big boss) came up with the idea that we can paint one column and one beam on the mezzanine floor which can be used as a graphitti wall by all the employees... so I am gonna paint the office RED... yaaaaa!
BTW, everybody is invited ;)

Empty Stomach is a Devil's Workshop

They say an empty mind is a devils workshop...we at tv 9 feel otherwise... we think that an empty mind is a result of an empty stomach...which in turn is a result of bad food, as a subsequent effect of bad or no cafeteria....hence, before any other facility we created a cafeteria... a terrace (big enough to for a basketball court plus audience rows) was covered up in white and green awning, tables were put up and lo and behold our cafeteria was up ... all it required was a smart food menu, coffee machine and snacks bar.

All meetings (official or otherwise) happen at the cafeteria nowadays, and its not unusual to find hot topics being debated under the guise of 'creative ideation' (whatever that may mean).

Some of the enthusiastic toilers decided to form a committee (in true Indian democracy) and decide what to put on the menu... all the foodies thought it was a great idea but the shirkers (read me) were quite eloquent about nipping the thought in the bud (imagine what they might start next... committee to start work...horror).

I guess I should shut up now, before my stomach starts growling again and I lose focus of this post ;)
